The Dark Side of the Hyuuga
Chapter 12- "Be a clan, for we are one"
"Alright Naruto, you on a roll, you got the Kyuubi power under control" Bee rapped as Naruto nodded, fully exhausted at the strain of events from meeting his mother to absorbing the hot chakra of Kyuubi. Naruto changed back into himself as somebody knocked and asked for Bee. Bee went out of the chamber to meet his informant while Naruto sat down to catch his breath.
"I did it...I did it...thank you Kyuubi" Naruto muttered as he felt his heart rate go back to normal and his breathing easier.
"You welcome Kit...my name is Karuma" the kitsune said softly as he laid down for a nap.
'Really...that's cool'
"Thanks" Karuma muttered before he let out a yawn and went to sleep. While inside relaxing, Bee was outside talking to one of the guards about keeping Naruto busy as not to find out about the war and slow down his training a bit.
'Ironically, he already knows about the war' Bee thought before he said out loud that he would in which he left saying he knew a way as in to stall time. "Hey Naruto come with me, we going to round up animals you see. They in danger, thanks to shark man, now time to breeze out like a fan."
Naruto sighed as he got up, still tired from all that hard work and slowly made his way to Bee who could see the lack of energy in the blonde.
"That boy is tough to take on the Kyuubi and still be able to stand to go round up some animals. Although something seemed different about Kyuubi, like he wasn't even trying."
'What you mean Hachibi?' Bee asked, sitting on the 8 tails nose as they followed Naruto out of the chamber.
"I mean it's like Kyuubi was holding back a lot of his power when he was attacking the boy. Almost as if he was putting on a show and really just wanted to give him the power."
'Why would he do that, I don't know, maybe the 9 tails is getting slow. Maybe the fox is getting weak, or maybe he just needs some sleep.'
Bee and Hachibi watched as Naruto nearly stumbled out of the room and quickly caught him with a tentacle before the blonde could hit the floor. Asking if he was okay, they realized that he was low on chakra and decided to let him sleep some before rounding up the animals. The rest of the group followed suit and took naps to replenish their chakra before they went and help him with the animal roundup. The next day they all got ready to go help Naruto with the animals by going into groups of two to flesh them out and send them toward Naruto. So Sai and Shin, Kurai and Itachi, and Sasuke and Hinata split into 3 different directions and had done just that before going back to the training room to train (obviously) some more.
"Kurai you okay?" Hinata asked her clone/sister/counterpart (take your pick) as they walked pack, quiet while she seemed to be lost in thought.
'Kurai?'
'Is something wrong with Kurai?' Itachi asked in Hinata's mind in which she answered back no and that she was deep in thought. She mentally saw Itachi nod and withdraw as Hinata sighed and wondered how to get some privacy to talk to Kurai.
"Maybe JT and Maru know" Hinata muttered as she went to go look for the fighting pair that she realized that she hadn't seen for a while. "They did help us roundup the animals...didn't they?" Hinata wondered out loud as she walked down the hall toward JT and Maru's room. Hinata found the crazy duo covered in burns, claw marks, clothes soaked and dirty but happy smiles on their faces while a sweat drop formed on Hinata's head.
"Hey Hinata, where you looking for us?" JT said as smiled at the quiet kunoichi who nodded and asked her how to ask Kurai a private question mentally so the others won't here. "Oh that's easy, just imagine a barrier around when you're talking with Kurai or whoever you want to."
"Okay, thank you JT" Hinata said as she walked away while JT and Maru went to their rooms to change before meeting up with the group again. Hinata returned to the training room and saw Kurai still lost in thought while the boys did some light sparring as they waited for them. 'Kurai' Hinata thought as she made a barrier just around them two while she heard Kurai mutter about what should she do in her mind. 'KURAI' Hinata mentally shouted making the girl jump and look up at Hinata who had a concerned look on her face.
'Oh hey Hinata, sorry I have a lot on my mind' Kurai sai smiling a little as she motioned for Hinata to sit beside her.
'I noticed, in fact everybody noticed. Is something the matter?'
'...Itachi confessed his love to me when we went to round up the animals' Kurai said softly while Hinata squealed and gave her hug but realized Kurai didn't sound as happy as she should. 'I want to tell him too but I don't know if I will have a physical body for long and I can't put him through another girl leaving him. It was bad enough his first love died because of the Uchiha's attempt on overtaking Konoha but to have a girl say they love you and leave you in such a short period. I can't hurt him like that.'
'It's okay Kurai, we will find the starball and you will live to be with Itachi-san' Hinata said confidently, making Kurai smile as she nodded and got up before helping Hinata up and going back over to the boys to finish training.
"Alright let's go to some serious training" Kurai stated, a fist in the air, which made everybody smile as they agreed and got back to sparring against each other. Later that night while everybody was relaxing, Hinata snuck into Naruto's room to have a face to face chat with him about all that had happened.
"Wow sounds like everybody is training hard for the upcoming war, in fact, we should all train together so we can back up each other in the war" Naruto said as Hinata smiled, thinking it was a good idea as he told her of his experience with Kyuubi and meeting his mother.
"Really, that's so nice that you got to meet your mother Naruto-kun" Hinata said happy for him before she told him of her own experience when she met a black vixen in her dreams.
"What does it mean Hina-tenshi?" Naruto asked as Hinata sighed and said she didn't know before she yawned, the sparring and mental talking taking a lot out of her. "Go to bed Hinata, I'll talk with you tomorrow" Naruto said as Hinata nodded and disappeared back to her room. The next morning as the clan was training in the 2nd chamber of the Tailed Beast Temple they were excited to see Naruto and Bee join them saying they would train all together. They spent a few minutes catching up on all they learned before Bee rallied them up by saying they need to train in their hanyo forms this time.
"Alright let's go clan" Naruto said as he changed into his new Kyuubi chakra form while the others paired up. They then showed Naruto all they had learned before they he got an idea. "Hey Bee is it possible for them to create a form like mine?" Naruto asked but frowned when Bee said that not anybody could make a form like his.
"But we can come close to it" Kurai stated as she showed them her gentle fist of the kitsune which changed to a more feline form with two tails. After they tried it, but not really getting anywhere with it except Hinata and Kurai, they called it quits and said it was easier in their hanyo form. After that waste of time they went back to training as Bee brought out a scroll with multiple swords and started teaching Sai and Shin how to use different swords.
"Hey how could you start the sparring without us" they heard JT said while Maru grumbled that it was her fault they were late which would have started another argument but was quickly broken up by Bee as he asked what they were doing. "Huh, what you mean?" JT asked as Maru sighed and mumbled about a baka neko.
"Why is your memory so short?" Maru growled before he looked at them and said they had a message from Hyou about how to further help each other. "She said that Inari-sama has made it where you can combine one of your main elements with another person through the necklaces but the downfall is that you can only combine with one person at a time and that it has to be part of their chakra element but you can combine two elements and send to another person who isn't using their chakra."
"And from the confused looks on your faces, you didn't understand a word Maru just said" JT said snickering at the looks on the groups face as Maru frowned and sighed saying it was hard to explain. "Well then be smart and show them in example dolt" JT said lightly knocking him on the head, making him growl at the grinning cat.
"Fine" Maru said as he stood next to JT who grinned. "Okay so which one you want to show them?" Maru grumbled frowning at the grinning neko who said she didn't know making all of them fall anime style. "Why am I paired up with such a baka?" Maru whined as he stood back up and said he would choose.
"Oh wait, hey Itachi remember when both of us was teaching you boil style but each of us only had one element? That's what he means, we use something in our case, our connection to Hyou to combine our elements into each other and use boil style. Now do you understand?" JT asked and was smirking when he smiled and the group said they understood now. "Alright let's try it, since everybody has at least a different chakra nature this will make it even more fun since the possibilities are great, so let's try it out."
They started with Kurai, whose main element was earth, and chose to combine her attacks with Sasuke, who chose lightning, and Itachi, who choose fire to balance things out. First up was Kurai and Sasuke with earth and lightning chakra. By combining their elements they learned to use steel which Sasuke used strengthen his katana and soon sent it through Sai and Shin to sharpen their weapons. JT warned them that it was difficult and would be straining to combine chakra and send to other people and told them to be careful.
"You wasn't kidding, that was both physically and mentally exhausting" Kurai gasped as she and Sasuke ended their training as they learned to repeal minor weapons thrown at them along with strengthen the teams.
"It's okay, it's easier with your mate because you seen as one" Maru said from the wall as he and the rest of the team watched in awe at the new styles they were learning. Maru was proven right when Itachi and Kurai created a powerful lava style that had many of them pull out shades due to the brightness and heat of the lava pillars they had just made. Kurai decided she would combine her abilities with the Uchiha boys and left Hinata to combine with Naruto who wasn't complaining one bit obviously. Their ice ability had taken on an interesting form as it seemed fluid like fire but was frozen, even at times it would look like fire was sealed inside the ice, giving it a crystal like look.
"Wow, that cool. I guess it has something to do with you two being so close" JT said eyes shining as she stared at the crystal, at least that what she was calling it, form.
'They're powerful is reacting in sync with each other almost as they are already as one. She must really love them two and ready to give her blessing, I'm happy to have lived such a long life' Karuma (Kyuubi) said as he laid back down and went to sleep, feeling as old as he was.
"Alright I see what you can do alone, now show me together how much you grown. Try an attack all together now, and show me with a good pow." Bee rapped as he watched them nodded and talk for a second before they got into a position and fueled chakra to both Hinata and Naruto who started to combine an attack. "Alright this will be our ultimate attack" Naruto said as Bee watched in shock at the new jutsu they just created. 'This clan is the most powerful I ever seen, they will leave the others green with envy' Bee thought as he watched the groups attack coming toward him before it dispersed before meeting him, making him fly back and hit the wall. 'Oh yea that powerful' Bee thought before falling unconscious as the rest silver fox clan ran to his side and asked if he was okay.
*week later*
"We have to go and join the war now Naruto-kun, please be careful and stay here to get strong" Hinata said as Naruto nodded and gave her a kiss before she made her way over to JT and Maru.
"Okay we got fake papers on Shin, Itachi, and Sasuke and here are the new headbands and you're from the crescent country if anybody asked" Maru said as he handed out the headbands, which everybody put on before looking at Naruto. Naruto smiled with love for his clan as he waved at them before JT and Maru used their pack teleportation to take them to the battle field while he turned back to Bee.
"Alright, I'm ready for some more training" Naruto said, determination heard in his voice as Bee smiled and said yea before they went back to the temple and trained some more, Naruto having a plan of his own.
*the next day*
All the members of the silver fox clan, although separated were still in contact with each other as they did their part in the war. Many were surprised as they saw some familiar people being resurrected and wondered how that was possible. 'Wait, but Asuma sensei was revived so how is here?' Hinata thought as she watched team 10 battle the person who looked like their sensei but in truth wasn't their sensei."
'You noticed it too Hinata? People who are alive yet are still thought to be dead and fighting now in front of you?' Sai mentally told her from his position as he faced his "brother" Shin on the field when the real Shin wasn't too far from where he was battling.
'Yes but what does this mean? I'll ask JT or Maru about this' Hinata told him before focused on finding JT and was happy when she was met with a meow without too much strain on her mind. 'JT how is it possible for those who were brought back to be in front of us and fighting'
'Oh yea, when a person is resurrected, traces of their spirit is left behind for other spiritless souls to take so they can have a chance to be resurrected. However when they take the traces of spirit they also take on the personality of that person so if Asuma was resurrected that means a soul ate the remains of Asuma's spirit and was brought back by whatever technique used.'
'Okay I understand (I think)' Hinata thought before she thanked JT and went back to the task at hand while she mentally told Sai who said he understood before wishing her good luck. 'You too' she thought before she saw the first wave of enemy approach and got ready for a grueling battle. All of the silver fox clan members spent the rest of the day battling, resting, scouting, healing, and everything else they were ordered to do until the sun had set and the enemy retreated for a second round. Early next morning, the news passed through the clan that Kurai and Itachi had gone to 'set some plan in motion' and would return later. As they continued to fight they got some more news, this time about Naruto, from Shin who got it from Maru who was closer to the base.
'I just received word that Naruto is on his way to join the war.'
'I knew dobe was too stubborn to stay in one place, even if its good for him.'
'Well you know that he would rather fight this war than let others die for him when they never done it before' Temari said as she had learned about their mental talking abilities.
'It's because he fights for those he would protect no matter the situation looks grim or not' Gaara added before he burrowed his enemies under sand as Temari blew away weapons thrown at them.
"Good because we need a way to turn this battle around" Kankuro grumbled beside his siblings as he moved another unconscious body to the side to be treated.
Later that morning, the silver fox clan was surprised to be summoned to the main base for a new position. What really surprised them that it was every member of the clan, Hinata, Sasuke, Sai, Shin, Temari, Kankuro and Gaara) so they knew it wasn't a coincidence.
"100 yen that JT and Maru behind this" Kankuro said joking as the clan met up again and exchanged what they been doing before they were ushered into the room to see Shikaku, Shikamaru's father.
"You have been chosen specifically to create a division that will stay close to Naruto...and Bee to help, I mean protect them in battle for the rest of the war."
The clan bit their cheek from laughing as they figured out what was wrong with Shikaku as he gave them his orders. After they accepted their new position, they were met with their leaders who bore a strong resemblance to Kurai and Itachi and was the location to where they were to meet up with Bee and Naruto. As they were about to leave, Hinata spoke up and asked what their division name was in which everybody in the clan saw Shikaku wink and said with a grin that seemed doggish in nature, "Silver Fox Clan" division. With a grin of their own, they nodded and quickly made their way out of the base and toward the dire location.
"So that is where you guys disappeared off to" Hinata said as Kurai laughed saying it was JT and Maru's idea.
"Let's get a move on, we far enough away from the base and any other people" Kurai said as she and the rest of the clan took off faster than they let on back to their positions. "Now when we give you the signal, we are to meet Naruto at the designated spot. All the team leaders know of this and will understand when you suddenly leave so let's go out there and show them what we made of" Kurai said
fist in the air as the group yelled yes in unison before heading back to their post. Back in the base, one of the other commanders asked Shikaku if it was a wise choice to pull those specific people to protect the biju.
"Yes I am very sure for I have great confidence in their abilities. In fact I'm sure will agree soon. "
'Oh man, I'm going to have to wrap this up because I can't control him much longer. His mental state is incredible' Maru thought as Shikaku's hand came to his head, a large headache starting.
"Now then, please come in. Gentlemen, I would like you to meet my subordinate Josei Tora. She will explain the significance of those members being together" Shikaku said rubbing his head even more as he quickly made his way out of the room.
"Hi" JT said, eyes glowing their strange color as she placed everybody under her hypnotic spell while Maru came back in with an unconscious Shikaku.
"Good you're done, now let's get out of here" JT said as Maru placed Shikaku back in place before they disappeared. As the afternoon came around and the fighting slowed, each clan member was surprised to see a silver fox beckon to them, saying it was time. Nodding to the foxes, each team leader, and Gaara, bid their division a good fight before they hightailed it to the stream in the woods where Naruto and Bee were waiting for them.
"Alright, everybody accounted for" Naruto said, adrenaline rushing through his body as the group nodded and had a quick roll call to make sure everybody was there.
"Naruto here."
"Hinata here."
"Yo Kurai here."
"Itachi here."
"Gaara here."
"Temari here."
"Kankuro here."
"Sasuke here."
"Sai here."
"Shin here."
"Bee's the name, I'm here the same. Yeah."
"JT and Maru here too."
The dimension duo appeared out of nowhere, grinning as they held something in their hands." "Now something is wrong with this picture? Now what is missing?" JT said if pondering while Maru rolled his eyes and said to get a move on, making JT pout as she pulled out their clan clothes. The SFC smiled before they changed into their hanyo forms and quickly changed into their clan clothes before meeting up again. "You all look great, now so that Madara knows who he is messing with, who are you and scream it loud?" JT yelled, Maru placing cotton in his ears as the clan smiled and yelled out.
"We are the silver fox clan, we'll be together until the end" they roared before they let out animal cries that could heard all the way to the battle field and on the enemy side of the war where Hyou was currently at.
"Looks like the show is about to start, aw, we're going to be a little late" Kisame said with a sharp tooth grin as a blonde chuckled next to him before looking at a shorter redhead.
"You okay with being a little late Sasori no danna?" Deidara asked the redheaded puppet who snorted and said as long as he didn't have to wait.
"I'm the one who hates to be kept waiting brat."
"When we do show up, we'll show up in style" Jiraiya said doing his signature pose making everybody sweat drop while Hyou chuckled and say they would enter in fashionably late as she turned to the two newcomers.
"You haven't changed a bit Jiraiya" a voice said as Jiraiya turned, a large smile on his face as he said nope.
"We don't mind being late as long as we get to see Naruto again, 'ttebane."
Hyou smiled at the excited couple as the tiger they were riding on slowed down to a brisk walk as they spotted their target. "Yea, but first we need to pick up a few friends from the enemy" Hyou said softly as she turned to look at Kabuto who still wasn't aware of their presence as he worked on his game plan.
"Think you can take him out quickly?"
The male newcomer chuckled as he held something in his hand. " I didn't get my nickname for nothing" he said before he disappeared from view and toward and unsuspecting Kabuto. Kabuto turned around as he sensed something in time to see something that made his eyes go wide in fear.
"Impossible...YOU'RE DEAD!" Kabuto cried out as he backed away from the approaching male who created an attack in his hand.
" No, I'm very much alive" the figure said as he drove his attack straight into Kabuto's stomach making him fly back and drop Anko and Yamato who was being used for experiments. Hyou quickly sealed the knocked out Kabuto chakra before summoning a tiger to take him to base while Jiraiya and Kisame picked up the unconscious duo before throwing them over the back of the tiger.
"Alright, now off to see Naruto and the biggest battle the nations have ever seen" Hyou stated as the tiger let out a roar and ran off faster than before, Hyou using swift style to arrive in time for the big finale.
"What was that?" Kiba cried out as he, Akamaru, Neji, and everybody else on the field stopped and paid attention to the cry heard around the battlefield.
'I bet that came from Naruto and the others but why did it sound so animalistic and how did it carry? Did she...unlock it?' Neji thought before he heard Akamaru howling and looked at the large white dog who kept howling in anger.
"Huh, what's wrong Akamaru?" Kiba asked as Akamaru stopped howling, his tail wagging as he barked at Kiba who was confused. "What do you mean our troubles our over? There are several powerful beings on their way toward us?" Kiba translated as Akamaru barked while Neji noticed something else. The dead, controlled by the edo tenshi, were not coming back and the Zetsu seemed to be retreating back into the ground.
"What is happening?" Neji muttered as he activated his byakugan and saw that it was happening far away too which had some people celebrating, some fearing for the worse. The later was soon felt by everybody as the nations watched Madara arrive with his biju sealing monster approaching the base as everybody was ordered to file back to protect the headquarters and fight something major.
"How are we going to fight against that thing?" Kiba cried out as he, Neji, and the rest of the Konoha 11 met up.
"The only thing that can defeat something that big would have to be another monster" Ino muttered as she looked at Chouji who was breathing hard from all his hard work in the war.
"...I don't think it's meant for us to battle" Shino said, a bug on his finger as the group heard the loud buzzing of his insects.
"What you do mean and where are the others?" Tenten asked as she looked around while Sakura raised a brow at Neji slight smirk, his byakugan activated.
"Alright Neji, what do you know that we don't?" Sakura said, making everybody look at the smirking Hyuuga who turned to look at something in the distance.
"Just that this war is about to become more interesting once they arrive" Neji said deactivating his byakugan while Shikamaru stared at him wondering what he mean.
"What do you mean by 'they'?" Shikamaru asked until they all sensed the large amount of chakra that had everybody turning to see what was coming. Behind them (they're facing away from the monster) they heard Madara laugh as his voice seemed to echo over the battle field.
"It's about time you showed up 8 and 9 tail vessels" Madara voice roared which had everybody, who hadn't already, turn to see Bee and Naruto, in his new Kyuubi chakra form, standing above them on top of a hill overlooking the battle field. "You saved me the trouble of finding you myself" Madara voice roared as he gave a chuckle when the rest of the clan showed up. "I see you bought friends to back you up" Madara said child-like until everybody could fell his smirk change to a frown as he noticed something about the group with him.
"What the, why is Hinata, Sai, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, and Kurai up there? Wait, is that..." Sakura wondered her eyes growing wide as she noticed a shorter brunette standing next to Naruto, a smirk on his face.
"Sasuke, what are you doing?" Madara roared making a lot of the people gasp and a couple like Sakura and Ino start crying as they looked up at the Uchiha who seemed to be on their side.
"Doing what's right" Sasuke yelled back, making the Konoha 11 rejoice as they heard Madara growled out traitor and roar that drowned everybody out.
"What about all your brother sacrificed? What about avenging your brother?" he asked before a chuckle rang out that actually sent a chill down Madara's spine as the figure next to Sasuke walked forward.
"You don't have to worry about that? There's no need avenging someone who's not dead" a voice said making a loud gasp go around the field as Itachi walked forward, a hand on Sasuke's shoulder.
"You should be dead, I took you're eyes...YOU SHOULD BE DEAD!"
"Obviously I'm not and I was dead but I was brought back thanks to an old friend of yours."
"Impossible."
"Quite possible" Itachi said with a smirk that was shared with the biju clan as Madara growled animal like that had everybody looking at him in shock. Everybody could feel the change in the masked Uchiha as he turned his attention to Naruto and spoke out, voice loud with anger.
"You think your tough-" Madara growled loudly, everybody watched as Madara started changing, his shape becoming something less human.
"Just because you have friends-"
Madara growing fur.
"You're still not strong enough to defeat ME!"
Madara on all fours.
"You know why..."
Clothes start to rip, show patches of fur.
"Because you're not Minato and you will never be your father!" Madara roared as his mask fell off and everybody noticed a sharingan in one eye and the cat eye similar to Maru, JT, and Hyou.
"What the fuck is that?" Kiba yelled out as Akamaru yelped and hid behind Kiba, barking about the scent of Madara which smelled like a large cat.
"So he's going into his animal form is he?" Maru said, eyeing Madara and thinking about how much he would love to tear his fur out, patch by patch.
Madara laughed manically as a gasp went around the field as everybody heard of Madara's outburst of the person they were protecting being the son of the 4th Hokage. The field went quiet except for Madara's echo laughter as they turned to see what Naruto would do or say.
"You're right...I'm not my father" Naruto said calmly looking out at Madara. "But I don't have to be you know why. I'll tell you, I'm Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto, soon to be the Orange Hokage of Konoha."
There was a loud cheer from down below as everybody cheered Naruto and the others on as Madara let out a mighty roar before he fully changed into a large lion with a black mane. "Not if you're DEAD" he roared as he jumped down from on top of the monster and moving faster than even the sharingan could see straight for Naruto. With a large claw-clad paw outstretched, Madara was about to strike when a special kunai appeared out of nowhere and forced him back down, now standing on top of the HQ. Madara let out a growl which was answered with another lower but not any less terrifying growl back as Hyou and the rest of the group appeared.
"You're late Hyou" Maru and JT said at the same time, not taking their eyes off of Madara who was snarling at them. Hyou smiled at the two and said she had an good excuse for why she was late.
"I got into a shouting match with a white-haired, purple skinned deity who was trying to go back on his deal. However he forgot that I was friends with his wife, the goddess of mercy, and gave in...mostly because he didn't want to give up his sex-life."
"Damn, you play a hard bargain Hyou" JT said snickering as Maru shook his head at their words while the rest of the clan looked at them, wondering what they were talking about.
"Sad that you have to resort to blackmailing to get your way Hyou, although since you got no other talent that works best."
"Well I'm sorry that I'm a smart woman who relies on brains than fake intimation to get my way."
"Heh, you're nothing but a weak tiger cub who can't even claim her own birthright in a simple human's saying.
(A/N: King of the jungle: lions don't even live in jungles, tigers do)
"At least I'm not some lazy ass cat who is pussy whipped by a female where you have to wait for her to bring down your food before you can eat."
"BURN" Kurai and JT said at the same time as Madara let out a roar of anger as Hyou smiled and turned toward Naruto, a large smile on her face.
"Are you ready for your surprise Naruto? I have to give up two whole boxes of star balls to bring them back so I hope you enjoy" Hyou said as she turned to look at Madara who had a look of fear on his face.
"You didn't...you're messing with the fates" Madara growled as Hyou snarled back, saying he started to whole thing and that she at least got permission before she did the things she did.
"Who?" Naruto asked as Hyou smiled and moved out of the way to show two people who approached Naruto, tears streaming down their face.
"Sorry we couldn't spend more time with you Naruto."
Naruto slowly turned, the others gasped as they recognized the newcomers.
"We plan to make up for it this time."
Naruto eyes started to water.
"Now that we've been given a second change we don't want to miss this opportunity with you 'ttebane."
The tears Naruto felt slid down his face.
"But first we need to defeat Madara and this war together...son"
Naruto let a sniff as he ran to the two newcomers and gave them hugs, Jiraiya standing near by with a smile on his face at the reunion.
"Mom...Dad" Naruto cried as he hugged Minato and Kushina, his parents, who Hyou had made a deal with Shinigami (Reaper) in bringing back for a price of star balls...and part of her life force.
"Nani, it can't be?" That's Kushina and Minato...Jiraiya too...back alive...but how?" Tsunade cried as talk went around the field at the sight of two of Konoha's greatest nin standing before them.
"That's right folks, Konoha's Red-Hot Habanero and Yellow Flash has come to help lead the nations to victory 'ttebane" Kushina said loud and excited as the nations cheered in happiness while many of the Konoha nin started to cry from joy and shock. A loud roar that seemed to shake the very earth itself was heard as everybody turned their attention back to Madara who had changed to his hanyo form.
"I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED AGAIN!" he roared as he jumped back to his monster, making hand seals along the way while Hyou cursed and ushered Minato and Kushina back.
"Get read SFC because he is about to warp you to a different dimension" Hyou cried out as she, JT, and Maru moved the group, excluding clan members, down the hill and out of range as Madara finished hand seals.
"Deity Style: Time-Space Jump Dimension" he yelled before a gaping black hole appeared in the sky above him, the monster, and the clan before a vacuum like suction pulled them into the hole as Madara and the monster soon followed, laughing all the way. Hyou turned to JT and Maru with instructions on helping Naruto and the clan which they did by running back of the hill and into the now growing smaller hole.
"You help them finish the war, we will help keep Naruto safe, I promise" Hyou said to Minato and Kushina as they nodded and she ran to join the rest as the hole closed tightly right after she had entered.
"Alright Minato...you ready to show them why we earned our nicknames" Kushina said, power radiating from here as Minato nodded, his special kunai in his hand as he smirked and said "let's go" before he disappeared in a flash Kushina soon after when he summoned her.
*in another dimension*
The silver fox clan, JT, Maru, and Hyou had just landed in the middle of a plains that looked like green grass was finally growing back after years of abuse. "Where are we?" Sasuke asked as he looked around at the quiet, life-growing place before he heard a sniff and turned to see JT and Maru looking down while Hyou had a soft sad smile.
"This is...our old home. At least its going to be able to hold life again. Right now we're near the sage of the 6 path's tomb."
"Wha-" Hinata started to say until she saw Hyou's eyes go slit and she snarled looking around, taking in her surroundings.
"Be on alert, Madara is around here somewhere" Hyou said, looking around making everybody go tense as they took in their the world around them until they heard a growling sound. Before they could pinpoint it, Hyou was suddenly attacked by two lions that appeared out of nowhere before she threw them off and changed into tiger to battle them. After battling the two big cats, several more appeared and started to give her a hard time which made JT change and help battle with Hyou. Maru noticed that JT was having a hard time fighting against the tigers so he swallowed his pride and changed into a orange tiger little bigger than JT and attacked the lions that was keeping JT down as Madara's voice taunted him from around.
"Aw, look at the pretty little kitty Maru. I bet you miss being a big dog and your puppies too."
Maru growled but continued to fight off the lions until JT was free and then went to help Hyou.
"You should have seen the looks on their faces as I told them how you abandoned them, oh the looks of sorrow. I never seen such a loyal animal look so hurt, especially as they howled their loneliness into the sky."
"Stop lying Madara, wolves are smarter than that. They had the strongest bond I've ever seen with Maru and know good and well that Maru would never have abandoned them" JT said in her human form, covered in vicious bite marks and bleeding but standing tall as Maru stared up at his friend who he disregarded so many times.
"Aw, the little kitten hissed at me, now what are you three little kitties going to do" Madara said appearing in front of the group as Hyou finished off the rest of the lions. Madara frowned when noticed JT and Hyou smirked before JT grabbed something from one of her pockets and tossed it at Maru who caught it with one hand.
"You mean two tigers and a big bad wolf" JT said as Maru looked at what was in his hand and gasped out loud. "These...these are the Inuzuku military pills. How did you get your hands on them and what am I supposed to do with them?" Maru asked as JT rolled her eyes and yelled for him to eat one. An eyebrow raised, Maru quickly flicked one of the small pills into his mouth and bit down, ignoring the bitter taste as he felt his chakra surge. "Now what is supposed to...arg" Maru suddenly cried out as he felt his body rack with pain before his features started to change from feline to lupine.
"There now you look like your old self" JT said smiling as Maru gave her a wolf smirk before he howled his joy into the sky as the clan changed back into their hanyo forms as they stared at Madara.
"It's time to end this Madara" Hyou said as they all got into fighting positions while Madara laughed as he made hand signs that Hyou soon followed.
"It should've been over...with your death" he yelled as he and Hyou both brought their hands down to the ground at the same time and said, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu". Right in front of everybody were two of the strangest mythical summoning creatures they had ever seen, Madara had summoned the gryphon boss while Hyou had summoned a creature with the arm and upper body of a hawk, lower body and legs of a tiger, and the wings and tail of a dragon, a chimera. Each summoner was currently on the head of their summoning floating high above their heads.
"Alright, we're taking this battle to the skies and by the end the day the world will be mine."
"Silver Fox Clan, you care of the statue while I take care of Madara, be safe and JT, Maru back them up" Hyou said as both summoning let out battle cries as they fly higher in the air as not to disturb the battle below.
"Right" the clan said until they heard JT and Maru snarling and turned to see more lions coming after them. "But first we need to take care of these mangy cats" Naruto said as they all got into fighting position when the first lion pounced.
